You Lil Dickens

Twenty First Century Courtship

Can’t be sure how many holes I’ve dug

I’m my own worst enemy, I’ve lost count

Although —

My time isn’t the same as yours

I keep very different scores

My favorites aren’t like yours at all

And I am an old soul through and through

Is it all in my head?

My consciousness dances

A scenario or two prances across my mind

No one is waiting this time

I’m not waiting on anyone either

3 Candles Lit

Here’s what they represent

Fires of possibility

Okay, it’s been a while but

Light it up, light it up!

    Realisation of an old soul, You woke up, You brought the stardust. No wonder you did sparkle.
    Do you know that your consciousness dances to the melody of that someone waiting for you, only for you, longing , yearning with trust on you.

    A cold slab of marble won’t do at all, but damn, those candles can burn.

      Question is do I remember how to date at all? This should make for some exciting new posts I’m sure.
